Content:
Since the 1960s, there has been a vigorous and ongoing debate about structuralism in English-speaking philosophy of mathematics. But structuralist ideas and methods go back further in time; that is, there is a rich prehistory to this debate, also in the German- and French-speaking literature. In the present collection of essays, this prehistory is explored in a twofold way: by reconsidering various mathematicians in the 19th and early 20th centuries who contributed to structuralism in a methodological sense; and by re-examining a range of philosophical reflections on such contributions during the same period, which led to suggestions about logical, epistemological, and metaphysical aspects that remain relevant today.
